Aren't we the heartless SOBs here on FR, suggesting that state cuts should be deep enough to force her to give up her lawn service? Oh, the humanity!!
She'll have two days a month she can cut her own damn grass! If she cuts back on the watering, that might be enough to get by without having to do so any more often.
I just took a job that is part-time (20 hrs per week) because my former company was closing our local operation. If I can figure out how to manage with a 50% cut in pay, these slackers can figure out how to get along with a ten percent cut from a fat government salary. Boo freakin' hoo.
